According to CoP Ellington, a few days later, Rev. Miller made the
following report to the Commissioner:
“I saw the man and the man said to me if it was PNP in
office, them woulda know how fi deal with this. Tell Bruce
Golding fi find a way to deal with it. I am not going
anywhere and, if they want me, they have to come fi me
and they have to come good.”

According to CoP Ellington, about 27 May, Rev. Miller attended on
him and told him that he was instrumental in getting Coke’s brother and sister to
surrender to the police pursuant to an appeal by the JCF for them to surrender.
Rev. Miller apparently continued efforts to find Coke and have him surrender.
CoP Ellington told us –
“I thanked him for his continued effort and support, wished
him good luck and that was it.”
Mr. Golding
12.12.
Under cross-examination by Ms. Martin, Mr. Golding said that, after
the hostilities subsided, he had a brief conversation with Rev. Miller who thought
that he might be able to influence Coke to surrender. Mr. Golding’s recall of the
meeting is this –
“He spoke with me and indicated that he had already
commenced an initiative because he indicated that he was in
contact with persons in the Police High Command and he
was also in contact with officials in the U.S. Embassy. I
welcomed that initiative because anything that could be
done to secure Coke being taken into custody, the warrant
having been issued there was too much turmoil created.
And there was still anxiety about the fact that he was still at
large. I welcomed any initiative and I was quietly, guardedly
optimistic that, based on the fact that he had been able to
take in Coke’s sister and brother to the police, he might have
been able to do similarly with Coke himself.”
